Should I tip a house painting crew?
I have offered them beer. They seemed to appreciate but they don't speak english so much.I have never done that. Other than telling them the beer is in the fridge
If you have them do non agreed upon stuff, yes. For a job they are contracting, no.I have offered them beer. They seemed to appreciate but they don't speak english so much.
I always tip people working on my house. What I give depends on the size of the crew and the quality of work. Sometimes it's money, but I always offer food and beverage.Should I tip a house painting crew?

Tipping is so overblown in this country.
Yes and no. In most cases, I agree. In the case of jobs being paid less than minimum wage, it's almost necessary. I find the great majority of servers to be considerate and caring, and I generally leave a 20% tip.
What I think should happen is for the charade to end, pay servers at least a minimum wage, and tip accordingly.
I also think everyone should have a job in service to the general public for at least a year. It would put a stop to a lot of the crap that employees put up with.

How about, and I'm just spitballing here, we have the employers pay a living wage and we just stop this tipping nonsense altogether.
I tend to agree, I have always found tipping kind of awkward.
BUT there are some folks pulling in way more in tips than they ever would at $15 or $20 an hour. And that cash is, well, let's say hard to remember to report on your 1040. So there is some nontrivial percentage of tipped employees that would not want that living wage, as it would be a pay cut.
Others would indeed benefit from it. The government for one - gotta be a LOT of under-reported tip income that would suddenly get taxed, not to mention more employer FICA too.
Google says IRS estimates $11B in unreported tip income.
Not saying you’re wrong…but what do you think that would do to restaurant prices? They’d definitely increase significantly. And that could crush businesses. No easy answer. And I HATE the tipping culture.Sounds like it would be better to end the stupid tipping employees economy. Pay the workers upfront their wage and charge accordingly. Then we don’t get the sponging of the non-tippers who never pay what they should.
